This study was conducted to determine the proximate composition and energetic value of selected marine fish and shellfish from the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. This study has included 20 species of fish (10 pelagic fish and 10 demersal fish) and 4 species of shellfish. For pelagic fish, Longtail shad (terubuk) was found to contain significantly lower moisture (59.31+0.00%), but significan...

The purpose of this study was to measure the total lipid and cholesterol content and fatty acid profile of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), Dover sole (Microstomus pacificus), and sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria). All three species of fish were caught off the coast of Oregon in late summer, 1987. Salmon contained 6.95% total lipid, Dover sole contained 1.03%, and sablefish contained 5.7...

The body proximate compositions were assessed in juvenile Coreius heterodon and C. guichenoti from the upstream of the Yangtze River. The migratory C. guichenoti has a higher lipid content (FAT) than the residential C. heterodon. FAT of C. guichenoti showed an interesting pattern of increase, where FAT increased up rapidly and then leveled off as body mass (M) increased above 6.5 g, suggesting ...

Four important hungarian common carp (Cyprinus carpio l.) breeds (attala mirror, attala scaled, hortobágy scaled and Szeged mirror) harvested from different fish farms were analysed in this study. Main body indices, slaughter characteristics, fillet fat content, and conventional fish flesh quality characteristics were measured and compared. the slaughter value of the mirror strains tended to ex...

Tenualosa ilisha from Chittagong and Khulna regions of the Bay of Bengal was analyzed which showed that proximate compositions varied among the different portions of fish body. The highest value of moisture found in dorsal portion of the fish (Khulna region) whereas the lowest value of moisture found in caudal portion of the fish (Chittagong region) were 56.59 and 54.69%, ...

The study was designed to investigate the effect of duration of frozen storage on the proximate profile of fishes lizadussmieri, sparidae, sciaenide and platycephalidae. The fishes were subjected to sixty days of frozen storage. Protein decreases with increasing duration of frozen storage; with the fresh samples (not frozen) having the highest protein content (13.02 ± 0.09%). while the least (1...

The effects of three different traditional processing methods (smoking, frying and salting) on proximate composition of red fish stored under ambient room conditions were determined. Fresh red fish were obtained from Elmina fish market. These were used for the study to determine the proximate properties of the raw fish, smoked fish, fried fish and salted fish before and after storage. The param...

The effect of fish consumption on plasma lipoprotein subfraction concentrations was studied in 22 men and women (age > 40 y). Subjects were provided an average American diet (AAD, 35% of energy as fat, 14% as saturated fat, and 35 mg cholesterol/MJ) for 6 wk before being assigned to a National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Step 2 high-fish diet (n = 11, 26% of energy as fat, 4.5% as satu...

Study was conducted to study the shelf life, proximate composition, biochemical, microbiological and organoleptic changes in fish finger prepared from minced meat of fish rohu (Labeo rohita) with suitable recipe. Prepared fish finger was stored in refrigerated condition at 4 0 C ± 1 0 C for 11 days. The yield rate of minced meat from the whole fish was 39.31 %. The moisture and protein content ...
